Ok sorry if there's a thread about this on CP somewhere but I'm admittedly a lazy prick. Anyway I've been seeing a lot of these videos on Youtube and other places of U.N. vehicles seen being transported across train tracks and interstates. I indulge in a lot of conspiracy bullshit on the internet for fun or whatever. I was wondering if anyone had an explanation for this huge influx of these vehicles being seen. Is it as simple as "we manufacture these vehicles here and transport them wherever" or do the tinfoil hat wearers have something to fear here?

Of course there are a lot of people who have been tooting the "martial law is coming" horn for years and years. I do think one day there could be civil unrest (due to economic crisis).

Maybe they have decided to send peacekeeping forces to liberal paragon cities like Chicago and Detroit.

Detroit it is ..... well maybe...

Activists asking United Nations for help amid Detroit water shutoffs

DETROIT (WJBK) - The Detroit Water Department is shutting off service to people who will not or cannot pay their bills. Now, activists are appealing to the United Nations to get involved, alleging Detroit is committing human rights violations.

A Canadian group collaborating with Detroit activists has submitted an official complaint to the United Nations High Commission for Human Rights, trying to pressure the city to stop the shut offs.

"Water is a common good and it should stay a common good," says Maureen Taylor, who runs the Michigan Welfare Rights Organization. She says she's tired of the city shutting off water to poor people who can't afford to pay their bills.

"What kind of government will allow for water to be turned off where there are women and children? It's just unconscionable," she says.

"If water is a human right, I mean, I'm fine with that. If someone can show me a way to provide the service where it's free, and we would do that, but there's a cost associated with providing this service," says Darryl Latimer, deputy director of the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department.

He says most Detroit customers are paying their bills but around 35 percent are not, and if they are more than 60 days past due and owe more than 150 dollars they have 10 days to pay, make arrangements or face shut off.

"The department is trying to be proactive because we don't want to execute shutoffs. We want customers to come in and make payment arrangements. But, for some reason, it seems as though it's been reported that we're doing this mass shutoff effort and these shutoffs have always went out every month so it's not anything that's new," Latimer says.

But Latimer admits given the bankruptcy there is a renewed push to get those bills paid.

The department says in May they sent out 46,000 shutoff notices and cut off water to around 8,000 people, most of whom paid their bills right after it happened. He says an aging infrastructure and failure of people to pay mean the monthly cost of water here is close to double the national average of around $40.

"You heard a report of a 9 percent increase in rates - most of that is due to bad debt associated with uncollectibles. So, we're trying to get that number under control so that we can control rate increases," Latimer says.

Latimer says the department is trying to get cost sunder control but if people are unable to pay they will work on a payment plan with them.

Fox 2 Detroit has not heard back from the United Nations yet but the coalition involved in the effort is hoping to not only draw attention to this issue but also apply pressure and even impact the country's human rights effort if no action is taken.

The Detroit Water and Sewerage Department released a statement responding to the "misinformation about water shut offs and suburban water rates." You can view that full statement here.

Why do you say there has been a "huge influx of these vehicles being seen?"

Because you read it on the internet on one of the conspiracy bullshit websites you say you indulge in for fun?

If you'll notice they're always headed to Arizona. Arizona is where the Russians are training UN troops . Reportedly there are over 4 million troops there. Most of the troops are actually muslim and it's reported that toward the end of 2015 getting into the last year of the Obama term there will be martial law implemented and when it's all over with we will all be subject to obide by Sharia law.

I'm one step ahead getting ready for this as just last week I put a bag over the ole ladys head and beat the hell outta her.

She complained but I explained it's her future and she can blame Obama not me.
